How to create a runnable jar file from multiple java packages.
The below example has two packages mypkg1 & mypkg2 with the below directory structure
As you can see below I have 3 java files and two packages
Lets first compile to java byte-code.
As you can see below I have 3 java files and two packages
# pwd /tmp/prog # du -a 4 ./mypkg1/One.java 4 ./mypkg1/Two.java 16 ./mypkg1 4 ./mypkg2/Res.java 8 ./mypkg2Example java main method file.
package mypkg1; import mypkg2.Res; public class One { public static void main(String[] args) { Two two = new Two(); Res res = new Res(); System.out.println(two.Two(2, 2)); System.out.println(res.Res(4, 2)); } }Create a Manifest file Note: mypkg1 contains the main and One is the class called
cat mypkg1/manifest.txt Main-Class: mypkg1.OneNote: Make sure to leave two empty lines at the end
Lets first compile to java byte-code.
javac mypkg*/*.javaNow we are ready to compile / create the jar file.
jar -cvfm mypkg1.jar mypkg1/mainfest.txt mypkg*/*.class added manifest adding: mypkg1/One.class(in = 510) (out= 354)(deflated 30%) adding: mypkg1/Two.class(in = 249) (out= 199)(deflated 20%) adding: mypkg2/Res.class(in = 249) (out= 199)(deflated 20%)To use the jar file just run
java -jar mypkg1.jarOne last word about extra library files or any other static data. By default java will search library and shared objects (so) files under the project folder/lib, make sure to include that in the jar file if needed. alternatively use Apache Ant to auto build your project
